Explanation:

The framers did not give much attention to the Executive Branch in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. During that time there was a reluctance to concede much power to the federal government, they wanted to give states independence.

Along with the years of the nation’s Constitution, more power was given to the executive branch, President Lincoln, for example, signed an executive order that suspended the write of habeas corpus, President FDR got the Congress to pass a major program that increased the size and scope of Executive Branch agencies and signed the Executive Order 8381 that created the classification of information which allowed the Executive Branch to limit certain information to the public.
